1. Introduction
The Ethernet Serial Server connects remote RS-232 devices via Ethernet as
an operation center between RS-232 serial devices and the Internet. Once
your computer connects to the Ethernet Serial Server via Ethernet, the virtual
ports can provide communication to devices without altering any applications
on your computer. It not only provides fine remote communication but remove
the restriction for distance. This server is quite suitable for applying remote
data accessing, security monitoring, and manufacture automation.
